Elm RD Bow (not for BOM)

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.

Gordon.  Please don't refer to this as a cut in shelf because I don't care for those either.  This is my idea for a center shot bow

WOW!   I'm really going to have to get that PA article so I can firgure out how to do those splices...
Outstanding work Marc.  You truly are a one of a kind bowyer.

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks Nathen.  They are a bit more work but worth it

 I like it, Marc. The handle area looks kinda like a Bear Kodiak Magnum.

I should say so!  Very, very nice!  Very distinctive, too.

Nice bow.if you dont have access to hhb for the wedge what would be your next choice of wood??

[Ronbow]

Marc, this bow sings, great job. Simple, smooth, beautiful, will be hard to get any sweeter than this one. but looking forward to your next one

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys

I have used Hard Maple, it glues very well also.  I don't use any of the ring porous woods.

No offense meant Marc - a center shot window it is then

wow outstainding wish i had or could make one of those

[walkabout]

very nice bow, love the profile. was splicing it together at that angle in the handle difficult? or is the splice simply cut straight then the pieces angled?

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys

The splice is cut straight then fitted for the angle

[walkabout]

very cool, im guessing the owner is more than happy with it.love the extra effort in the centershot aspect, reminds me of a pic i saw of a bow from a museum awhile back.
